Camper at hollands wood

  • Friendly New Forest campsite with simple facilities provided
  • Five minutes' drive from Lyndhurst; 15 minutes from Lymington
  • Access to woodland walking trails; half hour's walk to Brockenhurst
It can be tricky to escape the trappings of modern life these days… but Hollands Wood Caravan and Campsite is a place that allows guests to do just that. With 22 hectares of gorgeous oak woodland as a backdrop, this campsite in the New Forest National Park is a fabulous spot for stepping back and taking some deep breaths of fresh air. Stays here are on simple pitches woven through the treelines, among the ferns or out in slightly more open spots – take your pick depending on which one catches your eye. Whichever you pick, you should be treated to soothing views of green space, sounds of woodland and the chance to spot the New Forest’s famed wild ponies wandering freely. (Please note the natural terrain means that rock pegs are a good idea for successful tent pitching.) The friendly atmosphere at Hollands Wood lends itself well to many hours of chilling out in the woods – but the location’s also an excellent one for those who’d like to take off and explore more widely. From here you’ll have access to 143 miles of waymarked trails for walks or bike rides through the surrounding woodlands, or you could walk to Brockenhurst (home of several lovely places to eat and drink) in about half an hour. This is a place where guests are encouraged to embrace the natural setting in all its glory, but there are a few facilities provided to make life a little more comfortable – these include toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette. You’ll also be asked to follow the New Forest Code to help maintain this glorious environment, and use organic toilet fluid where possible in chemical loos.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Facilities were clean and had no issues whatsoever in terms of availability of them! Lovely site in the woods. Nice and sheltered and the free choice of pitch was great. Staff that welcomed us were friendly and informative. It’s a fab location in between two of the New Forests great towns/villages. Would use again.

Disliked: As a lighter sleeper the road noise was a bit too much for me, but the good far outweighs this.

Liked: Availability of pitches amongst the trees, space, facilities, the site is lovely and feels like a real escape from the bustle of life. Loved being next to the field and seeing the ponies wondering through the site too. Easy walk into Brockenhurst.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The space! Ponies running through the grounds. Toilets were clean and spacious. Staff were really friendly. Excellent value for money, location is really wonderful and brockenhurst itself is beautiful. Ability to pay an extra £5 for late checkout was a life saver as it didn't stop raining until lunch time.
I would definitely recommend.

Disliked: My only gripes - and these are really nitpicky;
No family shower rooms. I went on my own with my two boys (9 and 6), and while I could have made them use the ladies with me, my eldest wouldn't have been particularly comfortable. We didn't want to use the disabled/accessible shower room as didn't feel that was appropriate so just stayed stinky as we were only there for the weekend.
Also, whilst the site is wonderfully dog friendly, you can't take them in to the facilities blocks, and tether points were only round the gents side of the block. I wouldn't have felt happy leaving our dog outside while we showered (she's just a puppy), but made do by looping her lead through the fence posts while I popped in to brush my teeth.

Local attractions

Nearby Brockenhurst (half an hour’s walk/five minutes’ drive) is a good place to stroll to – the village has some lovely pubs, a bike hire facility for woodland cycle trails and the perennially popular Balmerlawn picnic spot for a riverside snack. Lyndhurst (five minutes’ drive) is another nice village to visit, with the New Forest Heritage Centre and bike tours available. Spotting animals is surely part of any New Forest break, and that’s guaranteed with trips to places like the New Forest Reptile Centre (10 minutes), Longdown Activity Farm (15 minutes) and New Forest Wildlife Park (15 minutes). The natural world is a huge draw around here – but so are the shiny cars of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (15 minutes). Once you’ve finished there, head back to the site via Lymington (15 minutes), which has boat trips, boat hire and the chance to cool off in a seawater swimming pool.
